  • Petco FTW!

    I know what your thinking "Petco FTW???????" but my local petco has really upped their game. Went by yesterday just to get some shrimp pellets and ended up walking out with RCS, red spotted nerites and assassin snails for my MTS problem which came out of nowhere. They also had some Killies and endlers plus the usual FW stuff. Their saltwater section actually had nice sps corals, acans, maxima clams, a huge achilles tang and a bunch of other sweet SW stuff. I was really surprised at the 'new' petco anyone else noticed their petco doing the same?

        Yeah, the one in the woodlands has a case of ick in several tanks, we were there today. Careful, peeps...it had spread to 6-10 tanks since we were there 2 days ago...no NFS signs up, or meds visible.

        I wish they'd step up their game!!

                      That's exactly what we were thinking. It's a shame. Hopefully your store there is the first of an upward trend in Petco's.

                        I have always noticed high quality in their fish dept here, they must have some great employees/managers at mine.

                            Agreed, it varies so much. It just takes the right kind of person who has the knowledge and still has enthusiasm to run a tricky dept. like that. I wish more of these stores could find/keep those people.

                              from what i have seen, yes. bought a few SW fish from them with no problems.
